So, to wrap up doughnut week, I wanted kick it old school. When was the last time you had a glass of Kool Aid? Do you remember their funny commercials, when the giant pitcher would come crashing threw the wall of a kid’s house and start pouring fruity drinks?

Comedian, Dane Cook, does a stand up routine where he talks about the consequences of the Kool Aid character. Imagine if a parent came home and found a huge hole in their wall and a weird character serving their child drinks. I highly recommend checking the clip out! You will laugh your tookus off.

Anyways, these baked chocolate doughnuts with chocolate glaze are your standard fair when it comes to the delicious treat. But add a little dusting of cherry Kool Aid powder on top and your doughnut went from break room status to fire escape, wall crashing acceptable!

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Let cool in pan for 4 to 5 minutes before removing. Spread chocolate glaze on each doughnut and dust with the Cherry Kool Aid Powder and devoure!

for the chocolate glaze:

In a saucepan, add chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Turn saucepan to medium heat, and stir frequently until all ingredients are incorporated. Add hot water and stir until glaze is smooth. Add more hot water if glaze is too thick. Glaze doughnuts immediately.

Oh my gosh! Koolaid ON a donut? I have put in cookies before, but never on a donut. That is pure brilliance! I am loving that these little guys are baked…
Then I can eat them all and pretend I am being healthy. Winwinwin.

I LOVE these doughnuts! The sprinkling of kool aid totally sends it over the top. We used to make kool aid all the time as a kid but I haven’t had it in forever! Now i have a craving…. 🙂

HA! I forgot about Kool Aid too. We need to bring it back! Thanks, Brandy!

So I’m sitting here with a coffee and after reading the recipe all I can think is “Why don’t I have one of these donuts to go with my coffee!!!” (yes, I’m yelling that in my head) They look amazing and I love the cherry kool aid twist.
